A dispatch from rural Canada:
June and Judy, a lesbian couple, “built their own loghouse” “on the Northumberland Straits” in Nova Scotia. “June [is] an AI tech [that’s artificial insemination, not artificial intelligence]. She works for a breeders’ co-op.”
“One of the standard arguments against homosexuality is that it’s unnatural. In her work, June regularly encounters evidence to the contrary. To get the best draw of semen from a bull, the goal is to achieve the best ejaculation possible. It happens that some bulls would rather mount a steer or another bull than any available cow; they choose a male every time — and the breeders, some of them rabidly anti-gay, never make a peep of protest.”
“Unnatural”? Yes, it’s a perennial anti-gay nonsense argument. But now and then there’s a colorful anecdote about same-sex horniness outside the human species.
